About Mamma Mia:

On a small Greek island, Sophie dreams of a perfect wedding — one which includes her father giving her away. The problem? Sophie doesn’t know who he is! Her mother Donna, the former lead singer of the 1970s pop group Donna and the Dynamos, refuses to talk about the past, so Sophie decides to take matters into her own hands. Sneaking a peek in her mother’s old diaries, she discovers three possible fathers: Sam, Bill, and Harry. She secretly invites all three to the wedding, convinced that she’ll know her father when she sees him. But when all three turn up, it may not be as clear as she thought! Told through the legendary music of ABBA, Mamma Mia! has become a worldwide sensation that has audiences everywhere dancing.

About Footloose:

Celebrate the spirit and optimism of young people fighting for change backed by a soundtrack of ‘80s pop anthems in this stage adaptation of the hit film. When city boy Ren moves to a small town where dancing is outlawed, he finds himself an outsider and a target of the local preacher who pushed for the ban – especially after attracting the attention of the reverend’s rebellious daughter. Ren challenges the community to reverse the rule and heal from the tragedy that kept their hearts from dancing.

Almaden Little League Fall 2024

/in , , , /by

Almaden Little League Fall 2024 Registration for Almaden Little League Fall 2024 is currently open!

Baseball:

Fall little league baseball rec season runs from September through mid-November. During “Fall Ball” it’s likely that Almaden L.L. teams will play teams from other leagues (e.g., Campbell L.L., San Jose-American L.L., Lincoln Glen L.L., etc.) – both at home in Almaden and away at their fields. Games are typically on Sundays.

Fall Ball is a great opportunity for any kid to have more fun and get more practice. It’s also an opportunity to play in the divisions they will play in the coming spring. If they are moving up a division, they will get used to the higher level in a low-stress environment.

Softball:

Fall little league softball rec season is inexpensive and travel is limited. This is a great opportunity for any girl to have more fun and get more practice. It’s also an opportunity to play in the divisions they will play in the coming spring. If they are moving up a division, they will get used to a bigger ball and a bigger field in a low stress environment.

Should there be interest, summer competitive teams will continue to play competitive softball into the fall.

It’s advised that all girls play in the division they are moving to in the spring regardless of competition level.

For more information, go to the Almaden Little League Baseball and Softball website or email [email protected].
